250r leaking coolant

[300exQuadracer]

i just got my 250r engine back together( torqued all the nuts to speck) filled up the radiator and there it is a stream running out the head gasket and out the base gasket, can somebody tell me what is goin on here, the cylinder was cleaned of all the old gasket, and now nothin seals up??

I can tell you about the head. It is just a bad head gasket, you can either paint it with some kinda copper paint (ask somebodyelse about it), or you can just go to a parts store and get one for $25. I always just get a new one. I think that maybe your gasket on the bottom is torn or you forgot to put one back on.....just kidding. Maybe the cyclinder is cracked or something.

take it apart and change ur gaskets, check and see if the head is not cracked anywhere to

got the leak stopped, but now the coolant runs out the head pipe, i`m wonerin if somethin is really screwed up here

Yea mine did that too, I just got a CR250 head gasket and put it on now it doesnt leak. It is probably just the headgasket though.

I would tell you to check Rriders (http://www.rriders.com) but right now the owner is switching servers. You can find excellent tech threads and there is lots of helpful R riders over there.

yea i also roam r-riders frequently, but they are down now,
anyways i got it stopped now the dealership said it was probably trapped in the exhaust and when it was running it just got blown out because my coolant isnt low

Yea I was wondering what was going on over there. I wonder how much longer it will be? I have gotten all the info I know about my R from there. I think I am having withdraws though.

I have an unused head gasket for an 86 if you want it for $15. Came in the gasket kits I've used and have no need with my o-ringed head...
